CapCut

CapCut (marketed as Jianying in China) is ByteDance's video editor, with desktop and mobile versions offering broadly the same features and most capabilities free.

Its biggest time-saver is automation: speech-to-text captioning, automatic translation into multiple subtitle languages, one-click background removal, and a large library of transitions and music templates. For anyone producing short video for overseas audiences, these remove the most tedious steps.

Compared with professional suites it is limited in fine color work and complex compositing, but it is more than adequate for most social content. Exports carry no watermark, though commercial use requires checking the licensing of any templates and music you apply.
